## Questions & Answers

**Q: If my Dad has a board and lives in Florida, can I just play him from Indiana with the app?  I cant afford two boards.**
A: Your dad can play using the Android or iOS app, or using Chess.com any device or computer. 

For Chess.com games, you'll both need an account (free account is fine), you'll have to add each other as Chess.com friends. To play with your board, you'll need to link your Chess.com account to your Square Off app, then you'll need to use the Square Off app to send them a game request.

It's very easy to do, although In my experience, there's a delay between adding someone as a friend and having them show up to challenge to a game. Actually, it may be that disconnecting and reconnecting your Chess.com will immediately refresh your friends... I didn't try that, but I will next time.

**Q: How does it handle moving a knight if there are other pieces in the way?**
A: The knight is thin enough to slip between the pieces. The other pieces do not move out of its way. They have a video showing it.

**Q: do you need a phone or will a computer do?**
A: You will need a phone or tablet with Android or iOS, there is no desktop application that I know of.  The connection is over Bluetooth -- I suppose there's a chance you could run the Android app in an Android emulator under Windows or MacOS, but I haven't tried that.

**Q: how does it handle promotion or underpromotion?**
A: A more detailed description: when you get a pawn to the 8th rank, the board will beep quickly, 3 times. When you glance at the app, there will be a little grid displayed, with a knight, bishop, rook and queen... you select which one you want to promote to, and manually swap in the other piece.  If the automated side gets a pawn to the 8th rank, you'll get the 3 beeps and the app will display the piece your AI or human opponent has chosen to promote to... again, you have to manually swap in the extra queen or other piece.  There's one extra queen of each color... if the human player needs a 3rd (or 4th) queen, you can use the old "flip a rook upside down" convention to represent a queen, but I'm almost positive the automated side can't move an upside down piece (they move with magnets attracting metal in the base of the pieces). So you'll have to use captured right-side-up piece, doesn't matter which piece... the board will treat it like whatever it was promoted to, and display it as that piece on the app's board display. Alternately, you can use an upside-down rook for the automated side, keep the app board display handy, and move the promoted piece when you see that the board has attempted to move it.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great present for parents and grandparents
*by A***N on January 4, 2019*

The box came in a nice sleek box, very similar to Apple's packaging, most of set up was fine, except that it skipped over the fact that you need to set up the board before starting a game if you want to play against the computer. Once I had all of the pieces on the board, than the rest of the setup was very smooth.I liked using the app on my phone to select the level and see where the moves were happening. Also being able to continue to play on the physical board while out of my house by using the app was really cool, BUT make sure you put the board somewhere that dogs (and probably cats) can't get to it, as my 6 month old puppy grabbed one of the pieces while I was playing remotely which was an issue.I hadn't seen the latest commercial, before I started playing, but the idea that you can play a game from long distance, is REALLY cool, and I'm going to try that next time I play.My lone complaint after playing a couple of times, is when I had to put it away to make room on the table, storing the game pieces in the bland box they came in could be improved, just to make the piece holder with a bit more personality.The overall quality of the board, pieces and presentation is high end, and you feel like you have a very high quality product.

### ⭐ Unreliable and awful customer service
*by A***F on February 1, 2023*

Was super excited about this product. It worked great for 9 Months and then showed erratic movements some of the time. i replaced the charger, updated the firmware and finally contacted customer service 3 months out of warranty (1 year). At this point, it wasUnplayable.. got sent on fools errand, sent videos,Reset, raindance .. finally said it needs a new motherboard and its out of warranty's so wanted to charge $150 + shipping to me to fix myself if they sent motherboard. Expensive white elephant at this point.Bad quality product and bad customer service.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ FUNNNNNNNNN !!!!!
*by D***M on December 30, 2018*

My son and I have been playing chess nonstop since Christmas Day.I must say this unit is a lot of fun.For me, the look, feel, and finish of the board and pieces are acceptable at it’s price point.The robotics that move the chess pieces is somewhat loud .... it could be distracting for some people.I do feel the robotic movements sound a little bit “clunky”.But I also think the noises can give the unit a bit of character.It just depends on how you adjust your own attitude ... if you like the noise or not.Today, at the end of a game, a person from Italy asked if I’d like to play a game with him.This was done through the app that controls the game.Wonderful stuff !!!!All in all, this unit accomplishes its goal… It is super super fun… And it looks nice while doing it… Nice job square off chess team.- Doug Ingram
